For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.
Jeremiah 29:11
My husband, Brian, went to bed last night stressed about his current job situation. He recently changed jobs within he company but is in limbo with all of the paperwork and has yet to even find out his new salary. As we talked about it we reflected on our lives. Every time that we were uncertain about circumstances and didn't understand why things didn't go our way - we got frustrated in the moment, but in hindsight, we look back and see that things always work out.
When I read today's scripture I knew that I needed to share it with him. It's a reminder that God's plan for our life is perfect and far better than anything we can accomplish on our own. If we simply trust God to take charge of our lives and have faith that He will, we can be assured that He has a plan for us...a plan for good. Everything that happens-or doesn't happen- is in God's plan. Sometimes for protection, sometimes for discipline and growth, but always because He has far greater things planned for us!
We can't control the outcome of our situtaion, we only pray that God will help us to make the right decisions when needed to align ourselves with His will. Everything happens for a reason- it just may not be our reason.
Trust in God's provision- He knows what you want and what you need and know what tomorrow has in store. He wants us to be happy.
I pray: that we can trust in God with not only the big choices in our lives but also with the little things. That we won't spend our time worrying about whether things will go our way but instead trust that God's way is best and TRUST and BELIEVE that He is in charge.
